<div>Abraham Joshua Heschel was one of the most revered religious leaders of the 20th century, and <i>God in Search of Man </i>and its companion volume<i>, Man Is Not Alone</i>, two of his most important books, are classics of modern Jewish theology. <i>God in Search of Man</i> combines scholarship with lucidity, reverence, and compassion as Dr. Heschel discusses not man's search for God but God's for man--the notion of a Chosen People, an idea which, he writes, "signifies not a quality inherent in the people but a relationship between the people and God." It is an extraordinary description of the nature of Biblical thought, and how that thought becomes faith.<br></div>
